Multifocal and unisystemic Langerhans-cell histiocytosis. Langerhans-cell granulomatosis can involve a single organ, or can be a systemic disorder. A group of rare disorders in which too many langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell) grow in certain tissues and organs including the bones, skin, and lungs, and damage them.
Patients are usually infants presenting with fever, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, bone and skin lesions, and pancytopenia. A multifocal, unisystem form of langerhans-cell histiocytosis.
[1] LCH is characterized by proliferation of abnormal and clonal Langerhans cells, in one or more organs like skin, bone, lymph nodes, lungs, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Occurrence of LCH in adults is rare and is commonly seen in infants and early childhood.
C96. 6 - Unifocal Langerhans-cell histiocytosis | ICD-10-CM.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis historically was thought of as a cancer-like condition, but more recently researchers have begun to consider it an autoimmune phenomenon in which immune cells begin to overproduce and attack the body instead of fighting infection.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) in adults is a rare disorder that occurs when the body produces too many Langerhans cells (histiocytes), which are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infection.
Disease definition. A rare dendritic cell tumor characterized by an aggressive, high-grade neoplasm derived from Langerhans cells, most commonly extranodal and multifocal, involving the skin and underlying soft tissue, as well as lung, liver, spleen, and bone.
Letterer-Siwe disease is a clinieal-pathologic syndrome characterized by onset in infancy and by generalized hyperplasia of nonlipid-storing macrophages in liver, spleen, Lymph nodes, skin and bone marrow, which usually results in fatal outcome.
In a small subset of patients, LCH has been identified as an incidental finding in biopsy specimens involved by lymphoma. Classical Hodgkin lymphoma is the most common associated lymphoma,23–26 whereas only sporadic cases of other types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma associated with LCH are reported in the literature.
the epidermisLangerhans cells (LCs) reside in the epidermis as a dense network of immune system sentinels. These cells determine the appropriate adaptive immune response (inflammation or tolerance) by interpreting the microenvironmental context in which they encounter foreign substances.
Histiocytosis is a generic name for a group of syndromes characterized by an abnormal increase in the number of certain immune cells called histiocytes. These include monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder of histiocyte proliferation. Previous case studies suggest a higher prevalence of hematologic and solid malignancies among LCH patients, possibly due to treatment with tumorigenic agents such as etoposide.
There is involvement of multiple organ systems including the bones, skin, liver, spleen, and lymph nodes.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis may also affect the pituitary gland (which makes hormones that control other glands and many body functions, especially growth). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is most common in children and young adults. A multifocal, unisystem form of langerhans-cell histiocytosis.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease involving clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells, abnormal cells deriving from bone marrow and capable of migrating from skin to lymph nodes. Clinically, its manifestations range from isolated bone lesions to multisystem disease. LCH is part of a group of clinical syndromes called histiocytoses, which are characterized by an abnormal proliferation of histiocytes (an archaic term for activated dendritic cells and macrophages). These diseases are related to other forms of abnormal proliferation of white blood cells, such as leukemias and lymphomas.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code C96.5 and a single ICD9 code, 277.89 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
